"Die By My Own Hand"

"Die By My Own Hand"



Sex in the city, Indian food
I never traveled not until you
But it’s looking like you left me with some habits I can’t break

I feel kinda guilty whenever I cuss
I lay in bed at night and, I think about us
Maybe it’s because of all the love you taught me how to make

You’ve changed be baby
Given enough time girl you might’ve saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Trying to love a music man
Don’t worry honey,
I understand why you went running from me
I guess I really should have seen it coming
I’ll always die by own hand

Ran into your daddy, last Saturday night
I had to admit it, he might’ve been right
Oh, all the times he told me that you’re just too good for me

You’ve changed be baby
Given enough time girl you might’ve saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Trying to love a music man
Don’t worry honey,
I understand why you went running from me
I guess I really should have seen it coming
I’ll always die by own hand

Oh, you’ve changed be baby
Given enough time girl you might’ve saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Trying to love a music man
Don’t worry honey,
I understand why you went running from me
I guess I really should have seen it coming
I’ll always die by own hand

Girl, I don’t blame you for nothing
I’ll always die by my own hand

"Do You Want Fries With That?"

"Do You Want Fries With That?"



I thought that was your voice
I thought that was my car
Now we ain't ever met before
But I know who you are
You're living in my house
And I'm living in a tent
And don't laugh, this second job of mine
Is paying both our rents
You're out here buying Happy Meals
And I'm eating rice and pintos
You so much as crack a smile at me, man
I'll come through this here window

Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's just about everything
Oh I almost forgot
Do you want fries with that?

Your ketchup's in the bag
And a check is in the mail
I hope your chicken's raw inside
And I hope your bun is stale
I'm supposed to tell you
"Please come back"
But how bout this instead?
I hope you both choke on a pickle
Man, that would tickle me to death
I don't know what you're waiting on
You're holding up the line
Oh man, you ain't got no change coming back
Are you out of your mind?

Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's all there is
Do you want fries with that?

Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that about covers it
Do you want fries with that?

"Don't Make Me Feel At Home"

"Don't Make Me Feel At Home"




Room number 10 at the holiday inn
I softly knocked upon the door
Both excited and ashamed
I slipped off my ring
Somethin’ I’d never done before
The door open wide she welcomed me inside
Took my coat and offered me a drink
I just shook my head
I sat down on the bed
I looked her in the eye
And said no thanks

Don’t make me feel at home
Cuz there ain’t nothin there but wood and stone
Loneliness is all I feel inside those walls
And I can't go home
Please make me feel the way
She hasn’t made me feel in way too long
Warm me with your touch
Make me feel loved
Don’t make me feel at home

There’s no love at home
Is it right or is it wrong
Does it matter if no one really cares
When she took my hand
I told her once again
As I took the ribbon from her hair

Don’t make me feel at home
Cuz there ain’t nothin there but wood and stone
Loneliness is all I feel inside those walls
And I can’t go home
Please make me feel the way
She hasn’t made me feel in way too long
Warm me with your touch
Make me feel loved
Don’t make me feel at home
Warm me with your touch
Make me feel loved
Don’t make me feel at home

"Don't Mention Memphis"

"Don't Mention Memphis"



Mister, you can take me into Little Rock
I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck
I'll listen all night if you wanna talk
Just don't mention Memphis

We can talk about your family
Politics and music and philosophy
Any ol' subject's all right with me
Just don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin' to me
From the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did
Was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis

Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup
We'll make Texas with a little luck
And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up
So don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin' to me
From the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did
Was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis

"Don't Take The Girl"

"Don't Take The Girl"



Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holdin' a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"
And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one and she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old

"Down On The Farm"

"Down On The Farm"



Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old Hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back
Tailgates down
There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

Ed's been on the tractor ain't seen Becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em heading down to the creek
Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep
Man he knows how to grow 'em if ya know what I mean
Old Dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

Well you can come as you are
There ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull
He can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate
Stay out of the beans
If it starts to rainin' will just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

Oh let's get down y'all
Stay out of that hay

"Drugs Or Jesus"

"Drugs Or Jesus"



In my home town
For anyone who sticks around
You're either lost or you're found
There's not much in between
In my home town
Everything's still black and white
It's a long, long way from wrong to right
From Sunday morning to Saturday night

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

My whole life
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
From the stained glass windows in my mind
Refusing to let God's light shine
Down on me
Down on me

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
There's not much space between us
Drugs or Jesus

Everybody wants acceptance
We all just want some proof
Everyone's just looking for the truth

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

"Dust"

"Dust"



It's rolling in the wind, you can see it in the air
Where I come from, man, it's everywhere
Coming up in a cloud behind a one way plow
Colors up the sky when the sun goes down

Oh, drifting up and down that main street drag
Oh, may even wrote her name with it up on the dash

Dust in the rearview, in the cedar
Dust on the bottle, coming out of them speakers
Dust on my boots, dust on my truck
Probably got a little running in my blood
From the road I ride with that laid back seat
She's sitting in on the passenger side
Everything I know, everything I love
Is covered up in dust

When the moon comes up it kind of settles on down
But we stir it back up when we're riding around
Dust on the top of a cold beer can
Before I take a sip I wipe it off with my hand

Oh, couple of days without no rain
Oh, shoot, it's probably coming from a mile away

Dust in the rearview, in the cedar
Dust on the bottle, coming out of them speakers
Dust on my boots, dust on my truck
Probably got a little running in my blood
From the road I ride with that laid back seat
She's sitting in on the passenger side
Everything I know, everything I love
Is covered up in dust

Oh, drifting up and down that main street drag
Oh, may even wrote her name with it up on the dash

Dust in the rearview, in the cedar
Dust on the bottle, coming out of them speakers
Dust on my boots, dust on my truck
Probably got a little running in my blood
From the road I ride with that laid back seat
She's sitting in on the passenger side
Everything I know, everything I love
Is covered up in dust

"Everybody Hates Me"

"Everybody Hates Me"


Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheerin' him on
He deserves everything he's got

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me

(Now check this out)

Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend [laugh]
He's back in the crowd

Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me

Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Wanna wag that big dog tail
But til' they are they wanna see the big dog fail

You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then your the S.O.B.
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide the jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
Til everybody hates me

"Everybody's Lookin'"

"Everybody's Lookin'"



Jimmy’s got it slicked back
Chillin’ on a six pack
Rollin’ that el dorado
A little somethin’ in the tape deck
Not so redneck
Teein’ up for the night
Got the armor all sheen
And some wallet green
From a check out counter lotto
He’s pullin’ up slow
She’s solid gold
Slidin’ in on the right (side)

Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’
To take a little edge off the day yea
A little smoke a laugh drinks on the dash lovin’
Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’

Amy’s done clocked out
40 hours knocked out
Sippin’ on a gin and tonic
Apron off
And her feel good on
Sittin’ on the step outside
Watchin’ that sunset
Not quite buzzed yet
But sneakin’ right up on it
Waitin’ for the low beams
Slowly comin’ on up the drive

Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’
To take a little edge off the day yea
A little smoke a laugh drinks on the dash lovin’
Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’

He backs it out and takes a left
She lights ‘em both a cigarette
He points that el dorado west
And loves the way she smiles
A ring has never crossed his mind
If you asked her man she’s just fine
With kickin’ back and killin’ time
Sometimes the right thing’s hard to find (but)

Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’
To take a little edge off the day yea
A little smoke a laugh drinks on the dash lovin’
Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’

Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’
To take a little edge off the day yea
A little smoke a laugh drinks on the dash lovin’
Everybody lookin’ for somethin’
